Lila Says

Based on a controversial French novel, Lila Says tells the story of a quiet young poet named Chimo who develops a crush on the pretty, blond Lila, a girl who recently moved into his Arab ghetto with her aunt. When the leader of a rival gang also falls for Lila, the ensuing love triangle initiates a journey of sexual discovery -- and sets off a chain of devastating events.

David Z (nl) wrote: An epic story of man vs aliens for the control of Earth featuring kaiju destroying cities around the world. Those looking for a kaiju fighting extravaganza will be a bit disappointed, as the only fight on the card is a battle between Earths kaiju and King Ghidorah at the end.

Kind of shocked. Kristen Stewart was actually so good in this I really like her now, even though I found her quite wooden before. The film is very good, but somewhat monotonous. Probably a result of its subject matter. Nonetheless, it held my attention on first viewing. I enjoyed it more when I watched it again. Recommended.

Instead we have an interesting group of characters and a no-rush storyline. Archie Panjabi moonlighting from The Good Wife and Steven Yeun taking time out from Walking Dead. Brit Marling plays a convincing role, working well alongside Michael Pitt, who's work I'm not familiar with except for The Village which was excellent but it wasn't Pitt that held me. I like Astrid Berges-Frisbey a lot, she is the kind of girl men fight to the death over. Her character drew me in to the film but it was the story held me right up until the end. If you enjoy a good film, ignore the critics and watch this.

Anthony J (es) wrote: This is quite the unique thriller. Kevin Costner is excellent as the tortured white collar serial killer. He's a successful businessman with the perfect wife and troubled daughter who in the style of Dexter, must cope with his dangerous addiction. He also speaks to a (dark passenger) much like Dexter, in the form of William Hurt (who is quite excellent as well). Even Demi Moore turns in a great performance as the detective tracking him. The music really sets the tone for the twists and turns that the film has in store for it's audience. An Overall pleasant movie experience, as long as you can stomach the horrendously awful Dane Cook.
